@minalgl: Only college students can participate, right ?

I would love to be there as a participant or may be just as a visitor. But, the website does not allow making an account without college ID.

Yes, only college students are allowed. Hope you can share it with the college students you know in the forum.

No issues. As it is a college event, the difficulty level is not too high so you can give it a shot. Read the problem statement on the website and you'll know.

Sure, will do.
